Today, my kids had their United Nation's Day Celebration at SLU. And since UN is a celebration of different countries, the students were asked to wear a costume representing one of the UN countries. Naturally, I was a busy mother since Monday (that was soon as I learned that the kids are to wear a costume...yeah, right...the teachers announced about the costume only last Monday which leaves me only a day and a half to prepare for the kids' attire.)
After, Rain's class last Monday I strolled around the malls, department stores and ukay-ukay stalls searching for a costume. I found Rain's dress at SM...was able to buy it in a much lesser price than those sold at Maharlika. I got her a Mexican attire. And yesterday, I busied myself looking for add-ons to her attire. Fortunately, I found a bunch of soft plastic flowers sold at ukay-ukay. I bought it coz the colors matched the dress...used the flowers as decorative to the fan, flower band for the arms, and props on the hair. All my efforts didn't go to waste, Rain was chosen to be Best in Costume in her class...I was so happy and excited and proud.
